As long as a team has a valid reason for there weakened side (games build up, injuries, other interests) then they should be free to play whom they want. The big teams have been resting players for years and thats why they are able to challenge for 3 trophies almost every year

You don't really, really believe that, do you?

United have a great chance of winning the treble this year, which has been made possible by them using about 31 players

I'm surprised we haven't been fined for fielding Keith week-in, week-out...

We should be....I dont think most clubs allow their cleaner anywhere near the pitch

Its a disgrace the way West Ham are acting. A team like Chelsea or Barcelona,could field any of their squad and it would not be deemed a weaker team. Its an insult to the rest of the players, that they are said to be weak. Its also, non of the other teams business who the manager picks or drops. You have nothing to play for, you are safe from relegation, with 5 games to go, you have the right to select the other members of the squad. As discussed a while back, West Ham got themselves in this position, no need to look for silly things like teams fielding weaker teams. Fact of the matter is, they are screwed and looking for a way out. They were lucky not to have been relegated before, so screw them and i hope they go down!

It is the business of other clubs and will stay that way until the rules are changed.

1-0 Chelsea

[DeadlyDirk]

Brilliant, commentators are saying Mike Dean didn't just give Man Utd a penalty because of his high record for giving them which got pointed out last week, so Olsson has basically just cost them a penalty

[RibbleValleyRover]

Its all Chelsea so far, United can't keep the ball.

[dazmaz]

the chase for the title could become very exciting

[Al]

2 - 1 to Chelsea. If we can do United next week it could mean the end of their dominance.

[philipl]

Arsenal's last gap winner keeps them in the title race.

[Miker]

[jodrell]

3-0 city 7min

[LeChuck]

I only went in the kitchen for five minutes and I missed three goals!

Come in City.

[Ossydave]

Absolutely shambolic, they've just showed people leaving already and can't say I blame them at all. I'd feel slightly sorry for them but it couldn't happen to a nicer team

[deryck guyler's spoon]

Should have been 5 by now. Commentator on Foxtel - "It's almost as if they're playing a sunday morning parks team" - ahem
